[REQUEST] Showing text through a call script command

Hello all.

What I want to know is how to show a pop-up text through a script command.

I'm not talking about showing an actual text box, what I mean is I actually want to have a script command to tell RMXP to draw text above the event that calls the script command.

EXAMPLE:

You fight a monster event. Win the battle.
after battle, back on the map, the monster dies/explodes and words appear on top of your characters head. (AP +1 or something)
When the words appear, it's NOT an actual message, but words drawn by a script. The words appear, stay a few seconds and fade away, without disrupting any player movement.
You know how the damage numbers appear on the screen for different ABS (such as BlizzABS and XAS Moghunters ABS)

I want to basically do the same thing, but with letters and by using a script command.

I hope that was enough for you to understand.

SCRIPTS I'M USING
Enu Takentai SBS + all addons
Nachito's "All 8 Directions"
Ccoa's advanced weather
AcendentProne's FFVII Style Menu
"Health Bars" Script
Charlie Lee's Individual Battle Commands
Ccoa's Universal Message System
sandgolem's Animated Save File
Blizzard's Bestiary Script

Please someone help.
 
Have you tried using the UMS to do this?

\ignr\opc[0]\w[40]
AP +\v[100]

Set the window opacity to 0
Wait 40 frames
output your text using a variable if necessary

Am I missing something? Why insist that it NOT be a message?
